The much-anticipated second episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 has seen its ratings released, sparking mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. With only six episodes per season, some fans feel the story struggles to gain momentum before it abruptly ends.
A notable concern has been the inclusion of Carol’s storyline. Some viewers feel it distracts from Daryl’s narrative. As one fan, @matthewnicholls3258, pointed out, “The Carol storyline feels so off to me, out of place. It should be just Daryl.” However, others argue that Carol’s return adds depth. @tenjed4224 defended the shift, saying, “This season is called: The Book of Carol. I would expect there to be a lot more around her, than Daryl.”
Despite these narrative critiques, the episode still maintains strong fan support. @elizabethmurphy5256 praised the quality, noting, “Great quality work in this episode. Melissa [McBride] is absolutely the best!”
However, the ratings have revealed a dip, prompting some to call for longer seasons. @BenjaminWirtz-lz9sn commented, “If they want their ratings to go up, they should add more episodes for a future season of Dead City and Daryl Dixon.”
While it’s clear The Walking Dead universe continues to captivate its audience, the debate around episode length and storyline focus remains. Fans will have to wait and see if the ratings trend upward in the coming weeks as the series progresses.
